Kiss Carlo QUOTES

1 " What I wouldn't give to have known my father with my mother in love-together, you know, just the two of them, in the kitchen laughing, making a sandwich, or holding hands on the street, seeing my father open a car door for my other. The absence of those things are what makes you an orphan-it's the ordinary everyday expressions of love you miss. "

― Adriana Trigiani , Kiss Carlo

2 " When you fall in love (...) it has to be from a place of strength. It has to be because you want to build something, not because you need to cling to someone to shore you up or save you. "

― Adriana Trigiani , Kiss Carlo

3 " That we looked out for one another- that we watched out for each other's kids and shared the harvest of our gardens and took care of our old people, and when we did the little things, like bake a cake, we'd bake two, one for our home and one for the neighbor. "

― Adriana Trigiani , Kiss Carlo

4 " And just as in life, if a man imagines himself on his deathbed and then works back through the years of his life, he will make better decisions along the way, knowing the end. Or at the very least, he"ll spend his time more wisely. "

― Adriana Trigiani , Kiss Carlo

5 " How can you quantify the moment when a person laughs, or when they cry, when they feel? You can't. It's the human experience. "

― Adriana Trigiani , Kiss Carlo

6 " Family is essential; they scoop up their own to rescue them in tragedy, to bind them close, to shore them up and heal them. "

― Adriana Trigiani , Kiss Carlo

7 " But now I know that youth isn't waiting for you on the other side of wisdom. "

― Adriana Trigiani , Kiss Carlo
